Configuration Mode
This section of the manual explains how to set up and view parameters in the configuration mode for software
revisions 45790-0025J (battery pack) and 45790-0017L (AC-powered). Note that earlier software may not have all of
these programming selections. Follow the configuration menu and instructions in Figure 2 to set up the WI-150
indicator to suit your specific needs. Below are explanations for each section of the menu. The non-bold heading for
each section is the pathway you follow on the configuration menu to get to the parameter or parameter options
shown in bold text. The menu reflects a WI-150 model with time and date and other options installed and enabled.
Your system may differ.
Sidestepping Security Code Entry to Configuration
In case you forget the security code or the security code is altered without your knowledge, access
the configuration menu as follows: First, flip switch S1-1 to the OFF position (sealed). Next, enter
the default code number, 150. Get into the configuration menu as instructed in the key to Figure 2.
When
CODE NO. is displayed in the menu, flip switch S1-1 from OFF to the ON position. Under-
stand that opening the indicator to access the switch effectively unseals the indicator! Then enter a
new code number—twice, as the display prompts. Now you have complete access to the configura-
tion menu.
SC-150
This parameter allows you enable or disable the SC-150. The default setting is “no.”

Gallons
Under each unit of measure you have the option of selecting
ON or OFF. Choosing the OFF option under a
unit of measure disables that unit of measure. If a unit is disabled, it will not appear in the configuration menu
under
CAPACITY or DIVISION nor will you be able to choose it during weighing procedures. Also, if gallons
is disabled,
DENSITY will not appear in the configuration menu.

Gallons
This menu section lets you set the scale capacity for those units of measure enabled under UNITS. Capacity
is automatically converted--entering the capacity for either lbs or kgs automatically sets the capacity of the
other unit.
Capacity for gallons is determined according to density and cannot be entered since it is a function of weight,
not volume. Density is the weight of your material calculated in grams per cubic centimeter. Consult an
Engineering Handbook for the density of your material. If a liquid you are weighing has a specific gravity of
1.5, for example, you take 1.5 times 8.336 to find out how much each gallon of your liquid weighs.

Gallons
This option lets you set the division size for the units of measure enabled under UNITS. Division size is
automatically converted--entering division size for either lbs or kgs automatically sets the division size for the
other. Division size for gallons is independent.
One feature not readily apparent is that the number of displayed leading zeros can be specified. For example:
for 10 pound divisions, if you want 5 zeros displayed when no weight is on the scale, key in 00010 for a
division size. The display will read 00000 when the scale is empty. If you want two zeros displayed when the
scale is empty, key in a division size of 10.
